ODU Football Faces Off Against Virginia Tech in Highly Anticipated Clash
ODU Football Prepared for Virginia Tech Showdown
NORFOLK, Va. (Release via ODU Athletics, Harry Minium) – The “1-0 mentality” that Old Dominion Head Football Coach Ricky Rahne demands from his players has kept the focus sharp this season. Rahne encourages his Monarchs to concentrate solely on the next challenge, which is crucial when facing formidable opponents like South Carolina and East Carolina. However, for ODU fans, anticipation for Saturday’s match against Virginia Tech has been building for months.
A Special Game at Kornblau Field
The upcoming game is expected to be electric, with it being the third occasion Virginia Tech plays at ODU. While JMU remains the Monarchs' primary rival, the Hokies are Virginia’s traditional football powerhouse, making this a significant event. The last matchup saw Kornblau Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium sell out all 21,944 seats without single-game tickets available to the public.
Given the large number of Tech alumni in Hampton Roads, the stands will likely be a blend of maroon and blue. The camaraderie between fans from both sides adds to the day’s excitement. Coach Rahne acknowledges the significance of the game, stating, “There are a lot of games that are important to our fans.”
